Doubt with Java 8 (oracle) Netbeans [duplicated]

1

I'm about to start programming in C ++ and in an installation tutorial regarding netbeans (IDE), they say that I should install javaJDK or JAVA8 (oracle) and then install NETBEANS, my question is this, What's the use of having java8 (oracle) or javajdk? Are they mandatory? Thanks: D

JDK is for programming, and java8 for running java-based applications.

JDK is the development environment, and java8 the latest version of java. You both need to program in java and execute NETBEANS (IDE based on java).

With java8, in addition, you can develop applications for previous versions (explicitly indicating it in the properties of the project).

The JDK is the Java Development Kit. You need it to be able to program, because it provides you with the tools for it. If you are going to use NetBeans (programmed in Java), you also need to install JRE.
